Xander is skill fodder.
What is Bunnicina's IV? I have a +spd/-res and she is really good.
Not being able to hit hard is an EXTREMELY big difference, especially in the current meta. I'm also not so sure about the being better defensively thing either, as I would rather attack Sheena than face Hector's Armads and Distant Counter.

Ignoring conditional probability and assuming you just full pull every time:
chance of all 3*: 6.56%
chance of at least one 5*: 26.61%

Wanted Faye, got Faye.

Lol you got a little bit more than Faye. Nice pull.
Seal Attack or some other stat could be good. Since she doesn't have to worry about being counter attacked she could be like a ranged debuffer.

Fuck this game and their stupid Boon/Bane fucking me over everytime I manage to get a 5*. Get Lukas? Sure, but here's a +ATK -DEF one! His whole point is DEF... Christ...
Maybe a Seal skill. Vantage and -breaker skills won't do much for her, and Firesweep seems like it'd be ideal to run alongside a dancer so you could follow up on a debuffed opponent with no fear of counterattacks.
I've got a +spd Setsuna that I might work on someday, but I have pulled on grey so little that I don't have any weapon to give her. No Life and Death either, although I wonder if Death Blow would also be fine since mine would be 40 speed. Death Blow would have no drawbacks due to the nature of the bow, and her defenses would be a little better in case something did survive.
I don't know about seal skills, the point is that she'd one round them but her attack is pretty crap, I was considering saying death blow 3 as well. The nature of the weapon means most good b skills are useless unfortunately. With an attack buff from olivia she might be able to pull it off. Also if there was a B skill that lowered special trigger by one she could have 1 round moonbow which would finish most goons

Same boon/bane as me. I don't think it is too bad though. With fortress he will be at 46 Atk 40 def. that's still really good for an infantry. Infantry! Be glad we got a good boon at least.
CuthbertAllgoodz

You are right, it's my always getting worst bane that makes me forget the good boon. Let's figure out how to make something great out of him! I was thinking +3 DEF instead of his Fortress for 49 ATK 38 DEF (39 with DEF seal). Not sure which is better. Giving him Brave Lance for 43 ATK 39 DEF with auto-double is a possibility, not sure about this one. Could be Brave Lance+ for 20k feathers but it's a big investment. Trying to figure out best special if I keep Killer Lance+.

-Spd is his best bane.
A lot of people out there want to turn him into a brace lance user. I think I am going to go with
Killer Lance+
Reposition
Bonfire
Fortress 3
Quick Riposte 2/3
Whatever support I need
This positions him nicely to bait attacks and kill a lot of things.
CuthbertAllgoodz

Yea I will try him first with KL+, Bonfire and QR2 and see how it goes.

I think Ignis would be better honestly. If someone attacks him, it will trigger on his riposte. Otherwise, it will trigger his next turn. Since he is a defensive monster, you'd rather bait and kill with QR than attack with Bonfire, since he'll take the same amount of hits anyway. Of course, I'm assuming he doesn't kill most things with those 2 attacks already.
Man-is-Obsolete

I was going back and forth between the two. The off chance someone doesn't double him is why I was thinking Bonfire but yea Ignis on a three charge and 40 defense is scary.
Gotta run some things through the damage calc first.

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised that I managed to find a Serra as well. Lucky!
Also, having to break down your units for skill inheritance is dumb. Really, really dumb. Puzzles and Dragons just lets you slap a unit onto another one. Game manages to make more money than Fire Emblem as well.

Yea I am torn also. Already gave him a Bonfire but I was not going to do anything with that -SPD MRobin anyway. Thinking Threaten Attack 2 for Skill C.
Man-is-Obsolete
Member
Threaten Atk could be a good choice, but not sure how much it is needed for him given his defense. Threaten Defense will give him better follow up. I need to run the numbers of Fortress versus Defense 3.

So I noticed these quests only last 11 days. Seems like we'll be back to a Tuesday update schedule after this banner.
Also, still trying to figure out how I'm going to carry Faye for next week's arena. A unit with 21 speed, 41 attack and that can't counter is going to be dead weight without some kind of SI. Not that I want to waste it for her though. I was thinking of giving her a breaker skill, but I don't know which one I'd want on her. Guess I'm going to need to wait until they announce the next bonus heroes before I finalize this. Should probably give her some decent buff just to keep her slightly useful though.

That would be something to do with my Peri!
A movement assist skill should be enough. I mean, I got a perfect run with 4* Selena and she has not actually fought an enemy a single time. Just Reposition all day.

What are the chances of blowing 250 orbs without any 5 stars?
Because I've had that happen before
If you opened all 5 orbs from all summons, and all from the same banner, it would be less than 0.4%
But since you probably skipped colors you don't want, its (VERY) likely it rolled 5*'s, but for that color you ignored
edit: oops, corrected an error on my formula
Most people use a rally skill to boost Nino even more.
Triangle Adept and Swordbreaker seem like good ideas, the only units to threaten her would be blue and/or mages and Nino could easily take care of them.
Edit: And yes, use Rally Defense/Resistance.
I feel like the lack of movement skills really boxes me into a corner a lot when the defense team has multiple ranged units.
That's one reason why I'm going to keep Drag Back on her at first to see how that performs.

I like the Fury+Renewal build. She gets a great spread of stats making her great at taking hits and doling out decent damage to protect your mages but stays in the game with renewal.
If I ever pull a fae (or get exceedingly unlucky with my 5* colorless pulls), fury/renewal is my plan for lucina. It seems like a really good combo
Lukas and Claire will probably be bumped down to 4*.
Gonna suck when we get to Geneology and they are going to have to rename Arthur since instead of going with Fates' Arthur's Japanese name of Harold they used Arthur.

Doing full pulls significantly decreased your chance of getting a 5*. If you're after 5 stars, you should never ever open a orb of a colour that's not one of the focus units. For example, in the current banner opening any greens is terrible for your chance of finding 5stars.

Didn't get any of the new ones. nor even a 5*, for the 50 orbs I had collected. Still, some nice variety, including finally an adult Tiki for the collection (only a 3*, but already brought her up to 4*). Also new to me are others like a 4* Fae and 4* Ogma. [shrugs]

Some of Fates' name changes were so stupid.
What kinds of units would Swordbreaker be good for? Who do you like running it with?
I pulled a duplicate Sully and am not sure what kind of unit benefits from this most (versus something like Quick Reposte). Because of the HP requirement, I'm thinking you're looking for someone with decent defense and a mid-to-below-average speed score. Draug is tanky, but with all that speed, he doesn't need to auto-double reds that badly.
I'm considering Chrom, Seliph, Corrin (M), and Eliwood. Chrom is on the bulkier side and has garbage speed (mine is even -SPD), he kinda feels like the play. Seliph is interesting with his base 53 ATK, but seems like he might lose swordbreaker after one red attack (26 DEF). Also considering Female Corrin for Falchions defense.

he'll be Harold now, just like Leo <-> Leon
Arthur will always be Arthur.
Fates Arthur is THE CHIN OF JUSTICE.
Yeah... IS has always been really good about name overlap. Then NoA lol

Slower reds like Eldigan and blues like Ephraim and Nowi. Or the ones you mentioned. All of them benefit greatly from sword breaker. Prevents them from being doubled from the most popular units in the game, red swords, and allows them to double attack in return. Quick Riposte still gets them doubled, but allows them to double in return. Quick Riposte works well on really high defense but slow characters like Hector, whose weapon has it built in, Subaki, or the just released Lukas.
